Problems with Microformats
This is old news, but new to me and maybe someone else. There are some basic problems with many of the microformats, including the hCalendar. The BBC has stopped using microformats.
Since /programmes first went live we've been working to ensure that programme data was accessible to people and machines alike. The API design was baked in at the application design stage. Similarly we've worked on adding microformats to HTML pages as a lightweight API. All broadcasts use the hCalendar microformat to add start times, end times, broadcast channels etc.Unfortunately there have been a number of concerns over hCalendar's use of the abbreviation design pattern.They were considering RDFa as an alternative.So, does anyone know of any tools to easily create RDFa? Something to just plug in the info and have it pop out?
